    Battery Park: Statue from World Trade Center
  • Tip Rating:
  • In the middle of Battery Park (the first park in NYC) a statue from the World Trade Center is now located. It seems the world. It is broken and with wholes but it has been left like this on purpose. To remember the 11th September 2001

    Brooklyn Bridge: Go walking
  • Tip Rating:
  • For sure you have seen this pic many-many times in a film! A piece of advise: go to Brooklyn walking by the bridge and turning to see the view (lower Manhattan).
    Then take the subway in Brooklyn and go back to Manhattan: this subway goes by Manhattan Bridge and the view is great again.

    Metropolitan Museum of Art: MET
  • Tip Rating:
  • It is huge! You better take only 2 hours and try to see only 2 hours of art. Otherwise you will get mad!
    I chose the modern american art: it deserves a visit!
